### 2/5 — Questionable traffic updates

*2025-11-19, version 2.10.6*

Shows great promise but the real time updates are just wrong. I have alerts setup for my commute and I can get a popup there are 3 incidents on your saved trip. Open the app and there’s nothing. Happens most days.

### 4/5 — Road trips

*2025-09-12, version 2.10.6*

Good for major roads - sometimes especially with road closures due to natural events the site is accurate with conditions

### 4/5 — needs an update

*2025-04-09, version 2.10.4*

a dark mode app icon would be nice

### 4/5 — Worst ever app

*2025-03-09, version 2.10.4*

Not worth having useless

### 2/5 — Advice

*2025-03-09, version 2.10.4*

Too bureaucratic   I just want to know its safe to travel from Armidale to Port Mac

### 3/5 — Review 3 stars

*2024-12-23, version 2.10.3*

For starters, When I first downloaded the app it was surprisingly fast,but one of the downfalls is when I’m in the app the map is glitchy when you move it around.plus I put in a trip to see the time and it didn’t even go through and it doesn’t even show where you are. Hopefully they fix this issue and make it a better quality app :)

### 2/5 — Following disappeared

*2024-11-13, version 2.10.2*

My follow disappeared from app.

### 3/5 — Rate

*2024-10-06, version 2.10.0*

It isn’t as up to date as it could be.

### 2/5 — Rural

*2024-09-16, version 2.10.0*

Often not up to date away from major centres

### 5/5 — Live traffic

*2024-09-07, version 2.10.0*

It is so helpful trying to find a quick and easy route to take with no toll 😊

### 3/5 — 2530 postcode

*2024-05-11, version 2.8.0*

You still don’t cover the 2530 are postcode for flooding. There are a lot of new residents in this area and when the roads flood they have strong currents that these new residents are not aware of. Please cover the 2530 area.

### 5/5 — Incorrect information

*2024-05-05*

Searching route to port Macquarie airport & given the road that is closed for an event. Shouldn’t my route be redirected around closed road??? Poor information if I wasn’t aware of closure.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We appreciate your input and apologise for any inconvenience you experienced. - We would be grateful if you could provide us with more details by emailing livetraffic@transport.nsw.gov.au

### 1/5 — Clumsy

*2025-09-11, version 2.10.6*

It is slow. I can never find information. It does not work for me.

### 1/5 — 1 star kept annoying me to review

*2025-08-22, version 2.10.6*

1 star for apps that keep annoy me to review them. Stop it. If I pressed ignore the last 15 times … not a chance of a review on number 16.

### 1/5 — Hard to use, doesn’t function properly,very hard to get information, couldn’t even type this in revi

*2025-05-23, version 2.10.4*

Ran out of space apparently,hopeless

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-10-18, version 2.10.1*

Used to be good. Now unuseable. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Behind if there's an incident

*2024-10-15, version 2.10.1*

The M1 was shut today at figtree and yet it didn't warn me - only something that happened at Bathurst! Noticed Google Maps are much more advanced and seems to be up-to-date with any incidents compare to this.

### 1/5 — Not kept current to be of any use

*2023-09-19, version 2.7.3*

Lucky for local radio as this app would not help you avoid a major incident. Radio advised of closed major road in my area due to an overturned car, nothing on the app. What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-09-16, version 2.7.3*

Not very user friendly difficult to set directions and to follow the path, particularly with road closures in place.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-05-28*

iPhone 7. iOS 14 Totally useless! Constantly freezing, switching from NSW to full map of Australia, switching to full screen map of NSW from local area, unable to do anything without turning phone off and opening App. iPad also useless constant freezing, when typing routes delay of several seconds after pressing keys.
Deleted using Waze much better. Like every Government App problem they give to primary school kids has a project.

### 1/5 — Unreliable App

*2023-03-09, version 2.6.2*

Used this app twice now, once in the floods and in a major fire and both times it hasn’t shown road closures. I’ll be deleting the app now it can’t be trusted.

### 1/5 — Incidents are not removed

*2022-12-16, version 2.6.2*

There are dozens of incidents, hazards and roadworks long since completed but still showing on the map months and years later. Makes it hard to depend on the info.

These apps are a plathora of safeguarding information

*2025-12-19, version 2.10.9*

Excellent trip planner based on current traffic flow.

### 5/5 — An excellent app

*2025-07-24*

Live Traffic NSW is easy to use, and gives all the information I need to avoid holdups on the road. Now it includes local council roads, it’s even better, especially during floods and fires.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-07-08, version 2.10.5*

So far ahead of what's available in Victoria it is not funny
